DOT 4 fluid can be replaced by DOT 5.1 fluid and vice versa.

DOT 5 fluid is different. It is silicone-based and cannot be used in Ducatis that use Brembo brake and clutch master and slave cylinders. It will damage the natural rubber seals. It is dyed purple to give a visual warning against accidental use.
